Beautiful, sensitive playing! Thank you for sharing that.

Elegant, sensitive playing.

That's a fine little piece!

That's a cute tune, Barry!

Just a piece that I enjoyed. He's a bit dizzying to watch though...

lol...

Uh. Maybe you should get "GIRLS for Dummies." :grin:

I like the rustic sound of that instrument. Certainly not the best choice for Bach, but it sounds great to my ears for that Appalachian folky stuff he's playing.

Maybe they were just badly-played and he had had it with the cacophony.

For the lutenist with ADD.

Well, we live in the heart of Amish country and the storm is supposed to land right on top of us - it already looks Biblical outside. the pastor suggested we build an ark. But we're not in an...

I've got an old 19th-century no-name bowlback that sounds like a log, and I love it!

Bravo! :mandosmiley:

Mennonites are allowed to use the full realm of instrumentation. As far as the Amish go, it depends on the sect. The Old Church Amish (the most austere) sing only a capella psalm settings during...

It's not your fault! That story has been passed around for generations - you'll even find it in various Lutheran hymn commentaries. It may in fact be true, but there's no way to verify it, as none of...

Sorry for getting picky, but that's an old-wives tale. Modern scholarship now attributes the hymn to Martin Luther's composition. It may be possible that a similar tune was used as a martial song to...

It takes a lot of practice to make a bouzouki sound like a brass section, even for a gorilla.

I've heard a lot of gorillas play the bouzouki, and he's one of the better ones.

Quoted for truth.

One member of our congregation wanted to play the dulcimer as a musical offering, so I suggested we play a duet. He plays only by ear, so I let him take the hymn melodies while I...

Thanks for the recommendations Eugene!

Church is (or at least it should be) the ideal place for amateur musicians to make music. If it isn't technically perfect, the congregation should understand that you are nevertheless making an...

Reminds me of the Adams Family theme.

Indeed. With so many of the Bach solo instrument suites, you get the feeling that you're looking through a small window onto a vast and glorious landscape.

It just seems to me that the Paganini Caprices (especially the 24th) IMPLY so much more than solo violin music. I think he's trying to suggest orchestral colors and range, not to mention lush...

The 24th Caprice is so violinistic that it's probably better played as a duet. Even so, it's not my favorite arrangement...
